Powers: Bloke could change his skin
color to blend in with his surroundings. When he turned pink, he
gained superhuman strength (25-75 ton range) and enhanced durability.

History: (X-Force#117)- The team watched
a video of Bloke that showed him using his chameleon-like powers
in San Francisco, as he was being evaluated as a potential team
member. He later joined the team and was present as the team
viewed a video of the upcoming mission to save Paco Perez. He was
present at the press conference when the former X-Force team
attacked the team on camera.

(X-Force#118)- As the team said their goodbyes
to their respective family and friends, Bloke said goodbye to his
mutant lover with a kiss and prepared for X-Force's mission. He
participated in the mission and, as helicopters attack the team,
Bloke shielded the team's informant from the helicopter's fire
and was killed by the shots. The Anarchist vaporized his corpse
afterwards.
